Rolaids

Product Description:

Rolaids is an over the counter (OTC) antacid that provides fast relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach. It contains calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide, which work together to neutralize stomach acid, offering quick comfort from digestive discomfort.

Uses of Rolaids:

Heartburn Relief: Quickly neutralizes excess stomach acid to relieve heartburn and acid indigestion.
Sour Stomach Relief: Eases discomfort caused by an overly acidic stomach.
Calcium Supplement: Provides calcium, which can be beneficial for individuals who need extra calcium in their diet.

Key Considerations:

Dosage: Follow the dosage instructions on the packaging or as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount.
Interactions: Rolaids may interact with certain prescription medications, especially those that affect calcium absorption or are affected by changes in stomach acidity. Consult a healthcare provider if you are on other medications.
Side Effects: Common side effects may include constipation or diarrhea, depending on individual reactions to the calcium and magnesium content. Prolonged use or excessive doses can lead to high calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia), which can be harmful.

By using Rolaids properly, you can manage heartburn and indigestion quickly and effectively. Always follow the label instructions or consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
